along the way"
This phrase punches me in the gut, fellow old-timer. There ain't many, hardly any, left. No close relatives of my generation; only two friends of long-standing, many miles away. The memories keep invading and I am trying to treat them all as dreams... I need to write a poem about it, but not now. |
Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 08/26/12 at 11:47 AM tis a fact. in life we scramble far and wide to accumulate much along the way, things which flow and things which go counter to the grain. and given life is oft an Indian giver, it tends to steal away with those things when we are least prepared to and yet I feel there is one thing life cannot take away from you, George, which is this persistent ability of yours to utter the truth and nothing but the truth so help you Muse. |
